The SC and Me Beat Sandy in a 12 Round Decision

Wow. Glad to see that your family and the boat made it thru that mess. Someone needs to invent some removable dock piling extensions

Congratulations on a great prep job and passing the acid test of tidal surge! You've got what BoatUS says is the optimum dock set-up . . . a floating dock with TALL pilings (but just barely!) Good thing that storm was moving pretty fast by the time it got there - when they're only moving at 5 mph or so, you can see hurricane force winds for a full day or more!

Can't believe the guy that left the canvas up on that Grady! Surprised it didn't get shredded! Denny

The capped pilings are upside down driven in 40' so the ice wont lift them because of the taper. I have never ever had less than 40" of those pilings above the dockrings until.......

Those four tall uncapped pilings are from my old boats, for the lift. 50' class A driven, not jetted with not an inch cut off them. When I got rid of the lift the guys who did it of course offered to take them out for free, nice guys, lol. I said, nah little extra protection thanx anyway.

The Grady belongs to gentleman very into the C.G. Aux, lol. The whole back corner's down to glass also now.
